You need to URL encode them. 3: Raw spaces are not allowed in URLs. You need to URL encode them. So: $name_pro = "VC++ V2.4"; $name_pro_url = urlencode($name_pro); $url = "page2.php?page=&value=$name_pro_url"; $html_url = htmlentities($url); // Not actually needed in this example as the data doesn't include // any characters with special meaning in HTML. You do need this if // you can't ensure that in advance though. $html_name_pro = htmlentities($name_pro); print <<<HERE <td width="200" class="texto2"> <a href="$html_url">$html_name_pro</a> </td> HERE; > echo $value ; //Prints out VC V2.4 and I need VC++ V2.4 You need to run this through htmlentities too, otherwise its very likely (I can't see your code so I can't say for certain) that you are opening yourself up to a cross site scripting attack. -- David Dorward <http://blog.dorward.me.uk/> <http://dorward.me.uk/> Home is where the ~/.bashrc is -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
